My pampered 2002 Thunderbird might become the winter driver, while the Challenger stays warm and toasty in the warehouse, except on clear days then stretch its legs. I also have the 1999 Ranger which might come out of retirement. I live only 8 blocks from work. Depends on what I'm doing and the weather...no absolutes for me.

My girl will stay inside under her covers all winter long (except for starting time to time). I bought a Chevy HHR for my daily year round beater. THE CAR will be only be used during warm sunny days. Illinois winters can be very bad to a car and my girl will never worry about that.

did you buy the dodge car cover for yours? If not, I highly recommend it...it's a perfect fit!

Unless it was raining, I think I'd just walk to work, Steve.

yes I ordered it when I ordered THE CAR. Some of the 08 folks raved about how well it fit and looked so naturally I had to go get one and have it standing by.

Actually, I was wondering if they even made studded snow tires at all anymore. I always used to use them when I lived in Iowa, but having left there in '82 for cheerful South Texas, I haven't attempted to purchase any for a long time. For winter, those were the greatest things ever invented.
